ON a related note, I was interested in doing one of the custom gear sets for a muncie which was nick-named a marriage-saver;
The 3rd & 4th gear positions got swapped, but what you were left with was a four speed with 3rd gear being 1:1, and 4th gear was OD;
Considering the gear spread on a TH350 is seen as about perfect, why didn't the manufacturers do more of these OD sets... more because in my searches, I was finding stuff used in the 1950's that was overdriven...
But nothing which would be a direct bolt-in for my 'bird.
